Ugh.. getting mad at battery life!

I have not changed anything... I was getting 16+hours and still having between 15 and 20% left but the last two days I'm hardly getting 10 hours! WTF!
What is a good program for seeing what apps are open when they don't need to be? Would that just be like a tast killer?
Just a little rant... sorry. When I complain to my friends they just call me a nerd... I need to vent to people that understand, haha.

does your ranting require a new thread?

Wow people, how on earth do you guys get battery life of 16hrs. I can hardly get 3 hours on my phone...

Yeah, Its as pointless and useless as your post. Yet we both wanted to say something... so here we both are... wasting space.

Have a great day! Enjoy your battery.

you using the phone for straight 3 hours? if yes that's normal.
To the OP check the new apps you've downloaded.

Nope.. I use it moderately. listening to music for maybe an hour brings down my battery levels from 90 to 58% and this thing is draining 1% every 2 mins on standby...
Btw while I was charging my phone and it magically jumped from 8 to 34% in jus 10mins or so(I had switched it off before charging and after few mins of charging, I switched it on to find it on 34%). Is this a factor??

that's ridiculous, that must be an application eating up type battery

jumping percentage means your battery stats is ruined. wipe it, but the battery drain on idle mode isn't about the stats.
what rom are you running?

If you're charging via USB, you may wish to connect to AC. USB doesn't charge as fast and your phone (apps running, etc) may using power faster than the USB can replenish it.
If you're on AC, turn the phone off and charge it that way. If it continues to decrease this way, there is something seriously weird with your device.

I re-flashed bionix but the battery drain still continues.. Should I change back to toxic darky 9.5 and see how the battery on that thing is working?

Please Help Crazy Battery Drain!!

Ever since I purchased my Note 3 I have been having crazy battery drain. My phone won't make it past 4 hours. I tried doing a hard reset and it made it for about 11 hours but once I put my apps back on it starts draining crazy again
I have to charge it about 5-6 times a day. For example this morning It has been of the charger for an hour and is down to 78%. In the battery stats it shows media server is using all the battery and I can't for the life of my figure out why or what app could be causing it. My phone also won't update every time I check for one it fails. I havent rooted it or anything I just need it to last as long as my Note 2. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Either your battery is faulty or the sensor doesnt read the values properly. Anyway do a factory reset and look what happens

Use a battery calibrate app as well. When you flash a new ROM its essential you wipe out previous battery stats.

4.4.4 has really hurt my battery. I thought it was the battery, so I replaced with an OEM. Still drained, so I did factory reset, same problem, went with CM11 and it still drains fast. It even drains when the phone is powered off. I can charge to 100 and then power down the phone and 24 hours later power on and the battery is around 60%.

You can try looking at your battery to see whether it had any lump or swelling. Mine had one and it was so slight and hard to see but after replacing the battery, battery life was great again.

the thing is also that you are using a Exynos device with Octa Core Processor. i dont know the difference between battery life by that since i have the qualcomm based phone. it may use a lot more power i think (correct me if im wrong because i never used a octa core phone). i do have a extra battery as well so that im full charged for the whole day. so i dont really need to worry about battery for my daily usage. and the phone and battery were purchased last year when the phone got released here in the philippines. :good:

Hi mate,
The only way to know for sure what is going on your phone is to use an app like BBS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Let it run for a few hours and check the logs for wakelocks , works better if you are root but it will work also in nonroot devices

The screens you are posting give little details.
My guess is that your battery is wearing out and you should try a new one.
